Rhode Island Slip And Fall Accident Attorney

What factors cause a slip and fall, or trip and fall, to change from a clumsy accident to being a serious issue of legal negligence? This is a question that slip-and-fall accident lawyers have to answer, as well as what medical and financial consequences a client has suffered as a result of that negligence.

In order to prove fault in a premises liability cases, you must be able to show that one of the following is true:

• The property owner, manager or employee caused the hazard, whether it was spilled liquids, broken stairs, construction equipment, disrepair, or other wear and tear that resulted in a fall.
• The property owner, manager or employee was aware of the hazard and after a reasonable period of time did nothing to clean up the debris, repair the walkway or otherwise secure the premises.
• The property owner, manager or employee did not periodically inspect their property, and therefore was unaware of the hazard, ultimately making him or her liable for negligent failure to inspect their property and warn visitors of known dangers or hazardous conditions on the property.

What Constitutes Reasonable Care Or Caution?

What is "reasonable" in premises liability cases is up to the judge or jury to decide.

The court will consider details such as whether or not it was clear that the area was hazardous, if there was a good reason for the dangerous item to be there, how long the area was in disrepair and if the individual who was injured was distracted or not paying adequate attention while on the premises.

We can help you determine if the circumstances of your sidewalk injury, neck injury, wrist fracture, etc., justify a personal injury claim. If so, we will aggressively and persistently pursue compensation on your behalf and you incur no legal fee or costs until we win your case.
